Ya'll need to learn some proper grammar up in them thar Louizyanna buyous.

The old .22 doesnt have the knock down power of a faster bullet. Shot placement counts, but the heart stopping shock can make up for a misplaced round.

That's why i prefer to use a .458 for my varmint hunting. Even if you miss them with the bullet, the shock wave usually gets 'em[&:]

did you clearly ask your uncle if it were a .22lr etc...? or did he just say a 22?

many guys will say i used a 22 meaning a 22 caliber, which can be a .223, .22-250 etc...etc...

either way I'm sure its possible to take a coyote with a .22lr, though not ideal at all. I'm pretty sure a .22 has probably killed most creatures in NA at least once.....I personally have heard of either a moose or brown bear being shot and killed with one.

yall that was .223 yall....

I'll tellya one other thing, If you could get them all up to 35 yards with no brush, knolls, hunters, callers or comin in the back door on ya, well yeah a 22lr could kill SOME yotes. After you have killed more than1 or 2 dogs you and your uncle would know that it dont always happen that way

i killed a 150# hog with a ear shot and .22 mag....i'm sure that a .22 would kill a coyote....but why risk wounding and losing one when you could easily put it down with a .223 or .243
